(Canned Speech) Ask Toolbar Removal - --([-S7N-])-- - 10-17-2010

My analysis shows that you have Ask Toolbar installed in your system.

I strongly recommend you remove Ask Toolbar from your computer because of the following reasons.

It promotes its toolbar on sites targeted at kids.
It promotes its toolbar through advertisments that appear to be part of other companies' sites.
It promotes its toolbar through other companies' spyware.
It is installed without any disclosure whatsoever and without any consent from the user whatsoever.
It solicits installations via "deceptive door openers" that do not accurately describe the offer; failing to affirmatively show a license agreement; linking to a EULA (End User License Agreement) via an off-screen link.
It makes confusing changes to user's browsers - increasing Ask Toolbar's revenues while taking users to pages they didn't intend to visit.

Click 'Start' (Windows Orb in Vista/7 operating systems) -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs, Programs and Features in Vista/7 operating systems. Locate and select whichever one of the following that is present on the list and click the Remove button:

AskBarDis
Ask Toolbar
Ask.com

Now, please delete the following folder if still present:
C:\Program Files\Ask.com <- this folder.
